Canadian shoppers, however, are
showing a definite preference fur
mall, tender, young birds, The
Poultry division of the department
of agriculture recently announced
that the large roaster chicken was
being replaced by the so-called
broiler chicken which could be
produced in less time and ivith
greater feed efficiency, thanks to
modern broiler rations,
Behind the chicken a busy
housewife buys at her favorite,
meat counter is a major industry
offering employment to thousands
of Canadians, It begins in a chic-
ken hatchery and ends With 'the
Marketing of the finished bird,
neatly packaged in a Polythene
hag or L' averwrapped with cello-
phane cellulose film on a card-
board tray, Amongst the business
men who cater to the Canadian
appetite for chicken is Edouard
Robert, owner of Sunny Eroplc
Farm near Ste. Adele, Quo, '
Located in the heart of the
Laurentians, Sunny Brook Farm
looks more like a luxury tourist
resort than a broiler factory, And
a luxury resort it is, at least for
the 35,000 broilers which occupy*
the five modern chicken houses,
Here for 10 to 1.1 weeks the broil-
ers live a pampered existence
carefully guarded by Mr. Robert
and a staff of three men.
They arrive at the farm as
chicks and are immediately placed
in a thoroughly clean and well-
disinfected room in 'one of the de-
luxe poultry houses. As many as
1,600 broilers occupy one room,
enjoying the ultimate in chicken
comfort. Instead of old-fashioned
brooders, they have infra-red heat
lamps to keep them warm, Four
time,e a hay an automatic feeder
places carefully prepared feed. he-
fore them with a minimum of dis-
turbance, They have nothing' to do
except eat and relax. .
For the first six weeks, the
birds 'are fed chick ;tarter in'
small pellets. They are then gradu-
ated to larger pellets Of 'Mere_ con-
centrated feed. In 10 to 11 .weeks

FORUM 'TO DISCUSS
IMPORT CONTROLS
Pad, and Grandad never talked.
about import controls, They used
to argue on free trade and tariffs.
What are import controls and
what do-they mean to the present,
day farmer?. Economists say im-
port controls appear on the hori-
zon whenever our prices are con-
trolled or supported in any way.
What do ,farmers know about
import controls? What, do they,
think? You will find ...out Monday
night, Decerriber 9th on„National
Farm Radio Forum. The topic is
"Impoft ContrOls.-4Are They Nee-.
essary?" „
The broadest will include a
factual presentation of how import
controls affect farm products and
